Time to Degree Calculator

This straightforward projection assumes a consistent credit load every semester with no failed classes, withdrawals, or scheduling conflicts - a useful baseline, though real-world time to degree often runs longer.
Worked example
For 60 credits remaining, taking 15 credits per semester:
Semesters Needed = ceil(60/15) = 4 semesters (2.0 years)
Prerequisite sequencing, limited course availability, and changing majors are common real-world factors that extend actual time to degree beyond this simple projection - use this as a starting planning estimate, then adjust once your specific degree audit and course sequencing are confirmed with an academic advisor.
